Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, most container plants will thrive in a mix that contains about 40 percent peat moss, 20 percent pine bark, 20 percent vermiculite, and 20 percent perlite or sand.
Detailed explanation-2: -A soilless mix provides a cleaner medium and gives you more control. 1 Besides being free of pests and diseases and other contaminants, you can blend in additional ingredients for preferred drainage, water retention, nutrition, and airspace.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the advantages of soilless growing is that unlike soil-based agriculture, where farmers have to use fertilizers to increase crop yield and spray pesticides to keep weeds and pests away, crops grown in a soilless medium are more protected from pests and weeds.
Detailed explanation-4: -A soilless mix is also called potting soil or potting mix or organic soils. While it is technically a soil because you can grow plants in it, it is mostly organic matter without much (if any) minerals in it. That means it doesn’t have much sand, silt or clay in it.
